#DONTJUDGE: How You Reacted to the Story of Gaby Rodriguez

Most Read

How many of you saw the cover line of the March issue of Seventeen "I Faked My Pregnancy!" and found yourself pulled into the incredibly brave story of Gaby Rodriguez? Gaby says that everyone expected her to get pregnant as a teen because he mother and sisters had. And sick of trying to prove herself against everyone's low expectations, Gaby pretended she was pregnant and, like an undercover journalist, took notes on how everyone reacted. Only her mom, boyfriend, school principal, and best friend knew the truth. Turn to page 132--you won't believe how her own brothers and sisters reacted, and wait till you get to the part when she reaches under her sweatshirt during a school assembly and reveals to her classmates that her pregnant belly is just padding!

If this all sounds like a movie, well, it became one! Gaby's story was published in The Pregnancy Project and aired on Lifetime in January. But what I've been watching all month long are your #DONTJUDGE tweets -- the things you feel judged for that you want to get off your chest. Gaby herself has been tweeting back at many of you (follow her at @GabyRodriguez02 and tell her what her story means to you!).

Here are some of the #DONTJUDGE tweets that stood out to @seventeenmag...what can you relate to?
